Instructions

1
Freshly slaughtered old hen, buy it and wash it clean. (I asked the seller to cut it for me)
2
Clean the prepared red dates, shiitake mushrooms, and ginger, and slice the ginger.
3
Put the chicken into boiling water to remove the blood, and cook for about one minute.
4
Take out the chicken and rinse it clean.
5
Put it into the clay pot.
6
Pour in an appropriate amount of water. (Water should cover the chicken by about the depth of one finger)
7
Cover with the lid, bring to a boil over high heat, and skim off the foam.
8
Add the shiitake mushrooms, red dates, and ginger slices, cover with a lid, and simmer on low heat for three hours.
9
During the cooking process, peel and wash the yam. (Wear gloves when handling yam to avoid itchy hands, or ask the seller to peel it for you)
10
Cut into roughly equal small pieces.
11
Put the Chinese yam into the chicken soup that has been simmering for three hours, and continue to simmer for half an hour.
12
Turn on high heat, add an appropriate amount of salt, cook for one minute, and then turn off the heat.
